Create a Google Reengagement Campaign

The following document defines the process for creating a Google Adwords reengagment campaign.

Create a Reengagement Tracker

NOTE: For Google to receive post-install event information, a re-engagement tracker must be created for each event individually that you wish to pass to Google. If attribution does not need to be tracked, ensure that the proper options are configured in the postback configuration for Google Adwords.

BEST PRACTICES: If you do not wish for post install events to be claimed by Google, be sure to exclude them from your bid strategy when configuration your conversion events in Google.

Log in to Free App Analytics.

Select the desired app.

If not already created, create a new Google campaign. For more information about creating campaigns, refer to our Google Integration support documentation.

BEST PRACTICES: In order to help with campaign organization, it is recommended that a segment be created for reengagement.

Enter a unique Tracker Name.

Select the Tracker Type>Reengagement.

Select Media Partner>Google Adwords.

Select the Destination URL Type>Custom. (default setting)

Enter any Custom Parameters. (optional)

Create a Reengagement Postback

BEST PRACTICES: Google strongly suggests that marketers enable any and all post-install events which are being being tracked by Free App Analytics. Any event that is configured will send ‘All’ occurrences of the event to Google.

BEST PRACTICES: Google strongly suggests the instrumentation of post-install events to track sessions as well as ‘deeplink’ events.

BEST PRACTICES: If the Event Name field is left empty, the original event name received from the app will be used. After the Custom Event may be used for any post-install events that do not correspond to one of Google’s pre-defined App Event Types.

Post-install events sent to Google must be designated with the corresponding Google App Event Type using the drop down menu within the Partner Configuration UI. Google has eight event types to select:
